KVM vs XEN vs VMware

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I am curious about which of the the following virtualization options
people recommend under Feisty?
1) KVM
2) XEN
3) VMware

Please take into account I will be running this on a laptop with 1.5GB of RAM.
Primary use will be to run WinXP
I may want to use it to test other OSs (linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD)

Is it possible to access and use peripherals which the host OS
does not support?


Thank you for your help,
Tomoki Taniguchi
